Service manual WM70.C

General product information

In conjunction with the introduction of the WM70.C (August 2010), our washing machines have
been altered in a number of areas. Here we present the changes to the wash drum and wash
agitators.
• Larger wash drum:
- 60 litres (previously 50 litres)
- 23 mm deeper, the drum is now 343 mm deep in total (previously 320 mm)
- 30 mm larger diameter, 480 mm in total (previously 450 mm)
• New drum hole pattern to cause as little wear as possible on clothing.
• New agitators that improve the wash process.
The angle of the edge of the cylinder, combined
with the shape of the agitators, moves the load
towards the middle of the drum. This improves
drum balance and reduces wear on textiles.
6
All cylinder holes flanged to reduce wear on
textiles.
Area with large holes (3.7 mm) to remove
larger objects, such as grit.
Area with smaller holes (2.2 mm) to reduce
wear on textiles.
Hourglass-shaped agitators:
• Move the load towards the smaller, gentler holes
in the middle of the drum.
• Move larger objects, such as grit, towards the
larger holes at the edges of the drum.
